'Afloat' is Guy de Maupassant's logbook of a sailing cruise along the French Mediterranean coast that proves to be much more than it appears. With Maupassant's blend of fact and fiction, the pages of 'Afloat' are filled with humorous and troubling stories, unreliable confessions, and reflections on life, love, art, and society. Maupassant's musings and ironic commentary drift from French history to Parisian society and from architecture to death. The book is a rare glimpse of the famed writer as a man and an author, sailing through his own consciousness and sharing his life credos.
